PowerGlide
A flexible tube designed primarily to enable the delivery of diagnostic or therapeutic solutions into the peripheral vasculature during a cardiovascular procedure (e.g., delivery of an antithrombotic agent); some types may in addition be applied to coronary or pulmonary vasculature. It is percutaneously introduced and may include features such as side holes for infusion across a specific region, an expanding frame to disrupt clotted blood to improve diffusion, or a balloon to support infusion at a specific region. It is neither a peripherally-inserted central venous catheter, dedicated occluding catheter, nor superselective small vessel microcatheter. This is a single-use device.
